Flock & ALPR Cameras in North Hills, California

Volunteers have reported 22 automated license plate readers in and around North Hills — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 22 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of North Hills, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside North Hills itself.

The rest sit in Los Angeles (22).

8 of them name an operator in the record: The Home Depot (6), Los Angeles Police Department (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching North Hills

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond North Hills — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to North Hills (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
